  Good spirit, behind the definition of 'paranormal'.
  
  "...that which is beyond personal comprehension..."
  
  But you must understand that this puts lots of things under the folder of 'paranormal'. For instance I, and also many pple find gravity quite incomprehensible.
  
  But I also normally want to trace things back to ancient times when some of these ideas and words were invented. For instance, 'spirit' in bible was translated from 'ruach' which simply mean 'wind'!! So originally pple were simply in search of what can be there but which eludes perception. Exactly what this stuff is is irrelevant. What counts is CONSCIOUSNESS. We need not force a person to beleive that something 'beyond matter' exist if they happen to beleive that 'wind' has some consciousness.
  
  Evidently, Jesus knew that wind was more of a good analogy. He clearly saw there is a fluid like entity in space that can, like wind, exert a visible causal impact to the world but which itself is imperceptible. He chose 'wind' as an analogy to describe it to Nicodemus but only because that was the subtlest thing know in his time. In our time, he would certainly use quantum field, electromagnetic field, neutrino field or higgs field. Pple reject these as candidates for what Jesus might have meant by 'spirit' without a tickle of trying to understand these things!!! They are only guided by the stereotype that if it is acknowledged by science, it can't be the spirit. This naivity is a disease characteristic to modern world. In antiquity, all KNOWLEDGE was seemless. We either understand nature well, or we don't. There is no 'science', 'normal', 'paranormal', 'metaphysics' etc. These words are just for CONVINIENCE in organising knowledge.

  Don't mistake premature perception of conscience "Paranormal" indicates by definition, something beyond the personal comprehension. Perception.

  Everything has a cause.

  
  A person of different comprehension might name this frequency of conscience, god. While for other it might as well be a wave of sound, which much like a sonar identifies the environment by resonance upon more solid surfaces. Electromagnetic.
  
  The same applies to spirituality, a definition for that which differs in speed of vibration. Sound.
  
  

  Humankind lacks conscience, global instability is proof. The personal aspect interfers with "god"

  Our genetic line holds onto harmful information derived from past turmoil and conflict. Much like instinct, knowledge, passes onto nature in form of behavioural patterns associated with survival.

  We are subject to our troublesome genetic heritage.
  
  

  Conscience, god, remains as our most perfect state of being, inspiration and renaissance. But for this to take effect, the personal aspect must take a step aside.
  
  This leads us to personality. Since this might manipulate the personal perception, either for convenience or ailment. Ego.

  The personal element is damaged, this creates conflict in our world.
